For the first time in the territoriesstudied in this paper, the results offer quantitative information on the occupational profile of the people accused of being smugglers, their nationality and origin, as well as the cargoes they trafficked, and geo-referenced information on the spaces where they moved. It aims to document on two facts of historicalinterest: the social status of the subjects involved in illegal border trafficking and the spatiality of the phenomenon.  Este trabajo recurre a fuentes primarias para ofrecer una aproximación a las personas, los bienes y la geografía del contrabando terrestre en algunos territorios del Virreinato del Río de la Plata ubicados entre el imperio español y el imperio portugués en las décadas finales del dominio español, entre los años 1780 y 1805. Los resultados ofrecen, por primera vez para el caso de las zonas analizadas en este trabajo, información cuantitativa sobre el perfil ocupacional de las personas acusadas de cometer delitos en estas acciones represivas, su nacionalidad y procedencia, así como sobre las cargas o “bultos” que traficaban,e información georreferenciada sobre los espacios donde se movían. Tiene como objetivo documentar información sobre dos asuntos de interés historiográfico: la condición social de los sujetos involucrados en el tráfico ilegal fronterizo y la espacialidad del fenómeno.
